Sorry to hear OP. I’ve always wondered how a money shift plays out under warranty. Keep us posted. GL

I don't want to be the bearer of bad news,but the engine might have locked up,so the starter is drawing all the current trying to spin the engine but it can't : a starter draws a lot of amps when starting a car,but trying to start a car with a locked up engine might be drawing " all the amps "...

I commend the OP for even posting this. I hope the damage is minimal. I’ve always wondered if the autoblip will blip past redline.

Going back and reading the OP's initial post,he was saying that the car is completely dead,no power whatsoever : even if the engine locked up,there should still be enough power left in the battery to open doors and power up some modules...perhaps something electrical happened that cut the power completely to the car...

How much is a new motor ? 80k ?
If you could get it started I would continue running it at this point.

If I remember correctly,last I checked PET it was almost 100 grand...

Damn that’s rough, but I would expect the engine to be more resilient to that honestly. I wrongly assumed there was some sort of shift lockout depending on rev range, I guess i misunderstood how that works

Maybe DME commands the pyrofuse to blow when there's a mechanical overrev detected over some range? Pyrofuse seems like the only reason I can think of the whole car would become a brick if the battery isn't flat.

The new battery is supposed to be “intelligent.” Perhaps it went into some type of safe mode lock out to prevent further damage. I would doubt that the pyro fuse would be designed to blow for over revs.

The car would still have power, a fuse blew, check your fuses.
Not sure if I would try to start it. I would try turn it over by hand, remove spark plugs and check them, drop oil and check, drop filter and cut open.
Sorry that happened, I feel your pain in the video. The engine might be OK. Depends what the valve springs are good for? RPM wise, if a valve didn’t float.
Thats weird the trunk wouldn’t open, you must have not hit the right contact with 12v, that’s direct power to the trunk mechanism.
Maybe the ECU has a protection mode that kills power to the vehicle but I doubt it. Sounds like a fuse blew or something fried, electrical wise.
